Tesla to end $8,000 FSD one-time purchase after February 14 2026, shifting to $99 subscription
Elon Musk said Tesla will remove the option to buy Full Self-Driving as a one-time purchase after February 14, making it available only via a $99 per month subscription in the U.S. The FSD system, which still requires drivers to stay alert and often take control, currently costs around $8,000 to buy outright but that offer will be withdrawn. In 2025, Tesla's vehicle deliveries fell nearly 9% while BYD sold 2.26 million EVs and overtook Tesla in fully electric vehicle sales.
